Abusive comments will not be allowed. Do not be a bully. Do not call people names. Do not be a dick. Don’t be mean. You really don’t have to make the same point over and over and over again. How many ways can I say this? Simply put: even though this is online, please remember that the people you are addressing are your neighbors.

Snarky one-liners are frowned upon. If this is your sole contribution to the conversation, please don’t.

While you are not required to use your real name, you must provide a working email address.

My goal here is to have an online community where everyone feels free to share, without the conversation being dominated by the loudest, the most angry, or the obsessed.

I think regular reminders speak for the majority of the group. For those who cross the line get a reminder that their behavior is unacceptable. All the stuff we correct our children about in adult form makes it a bit harder to manage.
